Wild, woodsy aromas suffuse this friendly little restaurant, where hickory smoking, slow cooking, and mesquite grilling are the order of the day. Nearly everything, from the thick, sweet, and peppery BBQ sauce to the delicate biscuits in the strawberry shortcake, is made fresh and in-house. And for a real taste of the ol' West, be sure to try the zesty Smokin' Beans.

Casual, family-friendly and notably value-priced, this old-timey steakhouse, in one of the few remaining rural pockets of Medina, is just the ticket for laid-back dining with the kids or spur-of-the-moment weeknight unwinding.
